WYCOMBE CHILD CONTACT CENTRE 

As one of a network of charities across the country, we provide a safe, supportive and neutral environment where children from broken relationships can meet and spend time with the parent they do not live with and possibly other family members.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
Established: 22 years
